It's better since the old owner isn't there anymore. Lunch special is more than enough food for the price of fast food elsewhere. Gen Tso's is my go-to. Not bad at all, chicken was fresh cooked, sauce was standard. Since The Orient (my old fave) went down hill, I guess will give this a shot read more

Warning: the chow mein doesn't have noodles. I'm giving them three stars instead of 2 becuase the girl FAIRLY told me that there were no brown noodles in the chow mein. Knowing that Chow mein is a mostly noodle dish, I thought she meant it was a different type of noodle. I said, I want the cripsy noodles, not the soft noodles. She told me it doesn't have the brown noodles and I asked if they are the clear noodles and she said no. Awkward pause and then she said, we don't have the brown noodles. (I thought it was like a wheat vs rice noodle or something) I said I would try it, thinking I was getting a different noodle) I got the dish home and it was just shrimp, shredded carrots and a boat load of onions. As someone who really doesn't like onions (I usually eat around them) this was a fairly dissapointing meal. I must have missunderstood her, but because she said that she has to call and confirm with people when they order that dish, why not just change the name? All the other food we ordered was just ok. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I normally don't like to leave a negative review but this food was so bad I took one bite and actually threw it in the trash. Completely inedible. I ordered the tofu and it tasted and smelled like dog food. Honestly the very worst tofu I have ever had in my life. Smelled and tasted terrible - almost made me throw up. read more

Fried rice and lo mein is good, Sweet and sour chicken is good, Food containers are always filled to the brim with food. Quantity of food is definitely worth the price and food is good! read more

Only thing that I have changed since moving here was trying China King. Was good at first until I was up all night throwing up from food poisoning from it. Will not be eating here again. read more

Christmas night. What else but Chinese? We are new in the neighborhood and are trying out all of the restaurants in the area. This is our third stab at Chinese and the second visit to China King, Edwardsville. They have the standard fare. No surprises. The food is well prepared. The servings are generous and the prices are very reasonable. So far we have tried chicken egg foo young, shrimp lo mein, general tso's chicken, crab Rangoon, and fried dumplings. Everything is good. The dumplings are the best I've had in awhile. Hot tip, reheat them in the air fryer. Amazing! The place was super busy on Christmas. I mean slammed but the staff did great. I waited for probably ten minutes but all the customers were civil. The staff were wonderful. My order was exactly right. Another tip, their online ordering app has worked beautifully both times we have used it. It's much easier and faster than calling in. Happy Boxing Day to all, leftover Chinese for us. Yum! read more

China King - China King in xmas night. - Chinese Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

Always good food and a decent price! Great customer service and clean as well! I love all their food. I've never had a bad experience here.

My daughter and I went to get the lunch special, Which is$5.59 each. When I went to order, I was rudely told that the lunch special was over. But according to the menu I picked up off the counter- the lunch special lasted until 3pm-it was 2:14 at the time- I got the feeling that they didn't want to serve me- which makes me sad.... 5/22/17- We went to China king to eat- every one was soooo nice I believe my prior experience was a misunderstanding I would like to openly apologize to China King for the bad review. read more

This is probably the best cheap Chinese in town. My only complaint is the difficulty in placing an order. My most recent call was answered by a young lady that spoke in a soft whisper. This is unacceptable when you job is to communicate. Get someone in there with some confidence!! read more

Everything about this place is perfect. I go here once or twice a month and the food is amazing, and the amount of food you get for the price is incredible everytime. The customer service is also amazing and super friendly. I get that nowadays everyone just wants to complain and when it's good nobody says anything. But this place deserves deserves a 5 star rating from everyone i've talked to and my every experience here. read more

Hot, fast, & cheap. My favorite dish: shrimp and Chinese vegetables (no broccoli!). Near to SIUE campus and Nature Trail Bikepath at IL-157 crossing. Coupons available on website. read more

China King - the front of a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

This place overcharged for delivery. I ordered lo mein. They gave me dry noodles with no lo mein sauce. I called about the over charge. She was argumentative. I told her there was no sauce on my lo mein. She argued and hung up on me. I called back. She said she is busy. Too bad I will never go to this place again. Bad customer service...worse food. read more

Good prices for quality. I usually get the meal combo with general TSO's chicken that comes with rice and your choice of an egg roll or crab rangoon. I recommend read more

MY. FAVORITE. CRAB. RANGOON. Wherever the world takes me, I'm always left dreaming of their delicious crab Rangoon. Their pineapple chicken, lo mein, and other dishes are excellent as well. Convenient and easy delivery. Always make sure the get my China King fix when in Edwardsville! read more

I would give this place negative stars if I could after the experience I had tonight. I am a regular customer here and my delivery usually takes 20-40 min to arrive. I called them when my food still hadn't arrived, an hour and a half later! They were completely clueless as to what happend and said they would call me back. 10 min later I called them back because I still hadnt heard from them. They said they had started a new order for me. When I asked if they were going to do something about this atleast..they said NO firmly. Then said the new order would take another 40min. Another HOUR AND A HALF goes by..this means it has been 3 and a half hours since I placed my order..and I had to call them back to see why my order still hadnt arrived. Yet again the lady sounded clueless and put me on hold..then Hung up on me! I will Never order here again nor recommend this place of business to anyone after that horrible service and experience. They did not once say anything to take responsibility or keep a regular customer which shows how little they care. read more

The food is good if you can look past the foreign objects... No, I'm not kidding. I was able to forgive the 15 inch long strand of the world's blackest hair in my noodles, but when I almost shoved a big brown fly into my mouth I refused to go back. In case you were wondering, no they did not offer me a refund- just a discount on my "next order". They also explained that when it gets hot, they sometimes open the back door. So if you're really dying for some China King and are able to look past blatant health code violations, I guess just don't order food on a hot night. read more

China King - noodles and vegetables in a take out container - Chinese Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

It was good. Except employee handled money then handled food without washing hands. Unsanitary

Fast and friendly service. Food is always delicious and yummy crab rangoon. Always a favorite for me and my family.

It's great, and the food is always hot! My favorites are the General Tso's and the Shrimp Lo Mein. I also get the side stuff like eggrolls and crab rangoon. Depending on what time of the day you go in there, it can be reasonably priced. Have been coming in here many times over the years and so far not a bad moment. read more

Our favorite Chinese spot in town. We've never had to wait more than 20-30 minutes when we call in (usually 10-15). We love the food and you get a lot for the price! We usually get 2 meals out of it. I always get the chicken and cashews with fried rice and crab rangoon. So good! read more

Great food, fast service. Drinks were all flat... minus one star. The crab rangoon and egg rolls here are crispy and wonderful. read more

This is our go-to cheap/fast Chinese restaurant in town. We really like Shan Gri La and Wang Gang, but if we just want something fast/cheap, we head to China King. They have good chicken and beef quality (always a question at cheap Chinese restaurants) and unlike another reviewer, we like their egg rolls. We also enjoy their steamed dumplings, crab rangoon, garlic chicken, sweet & sour chicken, beef with broccoli and chicken with broccoli. We've had other dishes that have been good as well, but the above are our favorites. They have messed up our order before, but when I call in to have the order fixed, they always give me a bag of free crab rangoon. So at least they are good about owning up to their issues. read more

It's quick, easy, and delivers. The process of delivering can be tedious because you have to spell most things out. They had online ordering and then took it away. It was convenient and should be brought back. read more

Wow is all I can say! I ordered online and 3 hours later they finally deliver stone cold Sesame Chicken! I called 3 times and each time I was led to believe that it was my fault they read the phone number wrong or even my fault they didn't read the location of the address. When I call and ask if the food is the same that they cooked 3 hours ago the response was the sound of crickets! Isn't it a big food no-no to serve the public anything that old and not kept in safe conditions? Should I be calling the Health Department? So I finally decide I'm not going to having dinner tonight because three attempts was enough. I call to explain that I am not going to eat this cold or old food and that I would like a refund I'm instructed to bring the food back and then they will process my refund. TRUST ME IM NOT going to eat it for fear of food poisoning. I can't bring it back because I'm at work. That's why I ordered delivery! This was the first and LAST time I will ever order China King. Do so at your own risk! read more

Very rude. Tried to order a delivery within an hour of closing anhad an extremely rude employee ask 4 times "can't you just come pick it up?" If you can't deliver until closing hours just post that. read more

We eat here a lot - at least a few times a month. The manager/owner is incredibly nice every time we come in and always remembers our family's "usual" orders. She is the reason I gave four stars. The food here is pretty good - not the best, but definitely good! I've seen people complain about cleanliness there and I do think that's an issue (but to be honest, any sanitary issues here are nothing compared to Lam's in Granite). read more

I've eaten at China King for several years, however, I will never go back after my last experience. The food was only average anyway. I called and ordered pick-up. The lady who answered & took my ordered seemed "stressed". I asked if I could pay over the phone. They preferred not to do that. No worries. I drove there to pay for the order so I could surprise my girlfriend, who was going to pick it up on her way over. I paid the same lady who I spoke w on the phone- it was a busy phone & she was still stressed. I told her my phone number- as I was paying, I asked if the order was ready, & she said no. I then told her I was paying but I was surprising my girlfriend by paying for it. The lady brightened up & said "Awwww, that's so sweet." She looked at my order again- & said "I'll be sure to tell her that & just hand her the order." Great, grand, perfect. Girlfriend got there right at the 20 minute wait time they gave us. First- my girlfriend almost left without food b/c the lady said she didn't have an order for my phone number. As she was leaving the lady finally remembered, called her back & told her it was paid for & it wasn't ready. My girlfriend waited an additional 20 minutes. They forgot the crab rangoon. I called- drove back- walked in & they handed me the rangoon. Other than that, the egg rolls were the nastiest things I've ever tasted. I truly feel somebody accidentally made them w the wrong ingredients. Needless to say, we won't return. There are other choices just as good. read more

I have eaten Chilna King's food several times, and refuse to do so again. I went in expecting average Chinese food, and was disappointed. Of all of the Chinese reataurants I've been to, this one was my least favorite. The food is sub-par, to say the least. read more

So disappointed. Normally we have our food delivered. Wow. What we didn't know! A couple weeks ago we lost that ignorant bliss and stopped by for carry out. We ordered at the store and waited. No one was in the kitchen. The cook who would fix our food was mopping. He finished mopping, made himself a plate and sat at a table with the other 3 employees and they all ate dinner. We waited. After 15-20 minutes and growing irritation I approached them and asked about our order. The cook LICKED his fingers,went to the kitchen and began to fix our food! He never washed his hands not even before eating his own food after handling the mop and bucket! He never washed. He took our food from brown paper bags and warmed it in a microwave. They didn't blink once when they handed us the food we had already paid for. No shame. We told them after what we just witnessed we didn't want the food. Keep the money and we walked. Never again. Wang Gang is in the same shopping center, its delicious and even if it costs a bit more I have every confidence it's clean and fresh. Disgusting. The place is dilapidated, and dirty. read more

I am an employee here and wanted to say The family behind this restaurant pours true hard work and dedication, not only into the food but by keeping their costumers needs first on their list and delivering the best to their ability. The head owners strive to produce the best and dedicate their everything to this restaurant. My favorite is their crab Rangoon... it is an amazing work environment and I am lucky to have such an amazing boss! read more

Prompt & accurate delivery. Good tasting food. Courteous service. Delivered to our expectations and would order from them again.

IT took them 2 hours to deliver my food. No discount. Cold. Never eat here.

I ordered from China King for the first time, tonight. I was a little disappointed to find that I wasn't able to order online, like their site said. When I clicked to order or to even look at the menu, I was told that they had shut the online ordering and menu off. I was later told that they had a new site to order off of. I don't remember seeing anything about that. I called in. The girl who answered sounded annoyed. Instead of asking me to "please hold", I was told "hold on a second". I told her my order when she came back on the line, not realizing what the minimum amount for delivery was, then annoyingly she told me, "yeah, the minimum is $15 and you have $10." Ok? So I added crab Rangoon. "Anything else?" I told her that I had a card. She went into my total, seeming like she ignored what I had said, then right before she hung up she told me that they don't take payments over the phone that the driver had a card reader. Cut to and hour later. No delivery driver. I was finally about to call the store, when the driver pulls up, gets out of his car and throws his cigarette butt on the ground. CHINESE WITH A SIDE OF CIGARETTE SMOKE! Yessssssssss! The driver was polite, if polite you mean he barely said anything. Hey, at least he didn't sound like the girl who answered the phone! Even though they're service was not so great, the food was okay. Even so, I don't think I will order from there, again. read more

I am only giving it one star because 1. I have to and 2. The crab rangoon were okay. I placed a delivery and 3 calls and an HOUR later (yes, a full 60 minutes) my very cold, snot like food arrived. He handed me my food and asked for the money. Then when I told him I played with a card he called the store and asked me for my card again. I ended up paying cash. So I did not receive s receipt and I'm currently in the process of making sure I did not pay for that disgusting meal twice. NEVER EVER AGAIN! Save yourself a headache and just order take out from Orient Wok chop suey and pick it up. Same prices, MUCH better quality. I am so mad right now. read more

Terrible service. I have ordered food from there once and gave them a second try with a dine in experience. 45 min to get food on a call in order, was told 15 minutes on the phone. After standing in line it sounds like they tell everyone 15 minutes. On the dine in experience, I waited at a table for my entire 30 minute lunch break. I had inquired about my food 2 times after the other person at my table was served and the 2 other tables that ordered after me were served. On, top of that, I only ordered chicken fried rice. The order taker gave me my money back, no explanation, no apology. They will not have to worry about me or my place of business ordering from them anymore. Avoid this place unless you like, cheap quality food that is sure to frustrate you. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Ordered from this place for delivery. We ordered online. The store called shortly after asking us to tip the driver now, before we got the food. Who does that!? Why would I tip for a service that has tlyet to be rendered?! If a waiter/waitress asked for the tip right after taking the order, who would actually tip!? Oh, and it gets worse. The driver shows up, I explain what the store did and that I am not happy. I told the driver that I was still going to tip, but I was unhappy. I put the tip on the receipt as I was paying with a card. About a minute after closing the door, the driver came back. Asked for a cash tip instead! Will never order from this absolute horrible excuse for service! read more

My husband and I tried the china king for the first time tonight. We ordered the food, picked it up, and when we got home realized they forgot to give us half of our order. We called and they refused to deliver us the rest of our food. My husband had to drive all the way back to the restaurant to get it. When he got there, they refused to give us our money back or give us a discount. My husband asked to talk to the manager and he refused to come out and speak to him. Needless to say we will not be returning again. The food is only okay and the service was horrible. I will be waiting for the china restaurant to reopen instead. read more

They messed up my order for the second time and the woman over the phone told me that I could pick it up. Umm, the whole reason for ordering for delivery is because I'm not able to go out to eat! So when I asked for them to send it to me she first didn't want to and claimed it was all my fault on now I ordered! I asked for the manager, guess what- she was one of them she told me.I thought it was the managers job to make sure the customer was satisfied but instead I received an attitude and disrespect! read more

Overall I always love the food from China King but last week, for the second time, they forgot to give us the sweet and sour sauce with my chicken! Basically it was just chicken nuggets. I called to ask to have the sauce delivered the first time and TWO HOURS LATER we received it. The second time we had picked up our food and didn't see that the sauce was missing until we got the order home. We called and the woman who answered said that she wasn't concerned, if they had forgotten the chicken it would be a deal but she didn't care. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T CARE. I began to tell her about that being the second time this had happened and she hung up on us. Great food, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SERVICE!!RUDE GIRL WORKING THE COUNTER!! this is a service industry you should NEVER hang up on a customer. read more

Let me start off by saying I have eaten in restaurant at China King before, and I never had a problem. My friend and I ordered online and selected the 'pay with cash' option. We went downstairs (we live in a dorm) and waited for half an hour for our food. We decided to call and they told us that they had other deliveries so it may take a while. We waited for another half an hour (wait totaled about an hour at this point) and called again. The woman on the phone asked for our information and immediately got hostile and said we did not pay for our food so the delivery person left. When my friend said that we were waiting for over an hour, she responded "well if you want your order it'll be another forty-five minutes. Are you actually gonna pay this time?" She then hung up on my friend who was almost in tears at the end of the conversation. I decided that I wasn't giving money to a business that treated its costumers that way so I called back and politely said that my friend was just treated badly on the phone so we would like to cancel the order to which the woman responds, "I am the manager so you don't need to be rude to me! I already cancelled the order!" and she hung up. Again. If the manager of China King is this impolite, I would hate to see how rude the rest of the employees are. I will never order, or eat from this place again, and I am telling everyone I know about how badly we were treated. read more
